What is the chemical bond that is formed by giving and taking electrons?

Answer 1

A covalent bond is one in which the electron is (more or less) equally shared between atoms. An Ionic bond is where one atom has a greater attraction for the electron than the other. Ionic bonds are formed between those elements that are at opposite end of the Periodic Table: the further away from each other the two elements are the more ionic will be their bond, the closer together the more covalent will be their bond. The most covalent bonds are between atoms of the same element O2 Cl2 N2 ..... The most Ionic of bond are between the alkali metals (H, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) and the Halogens (F, Cl, Br, I, At). Of these Ionic character is also affected by the top and bottom extremes of the table so the most ionic bond possible would be FrF, although Francium is extremely extremely rare so the most ionic compound known is Cesium Fluoride.

Answer 2

It is not necessary. The type of bonding you mentioned is called ionic bonding in which one atom looses electrons and other atom of any other element gains it.

But another type of chemical bond is also formed called as Covalent bond in which atoms of same or different element share electrons. For example:- Cl2, CH4 etc. are formed by covalent bonding

Answer 3

When an atom donates/receives an electron to form a compound, the particles of that compound have ionic bonding. This occurs between metals and non-metals.

The other bonding, covalent, occurs when atoms shareelectrons and bonds non-metals with non-metals.

Answer 4

Ionic bond is formed when one atom gives up electrons to another atom, resulting in the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This transfer creates electrostatic attraction between the positively charged cation and negatively charged anion, forming a strong bond.

Answer 5

ionic bond
